    we've all had one of those days at a show: too close to the 'music';
    too uncomfortable weather wise; too many floral walking shorts &
    striped tops; too many white legs on parade; too few people with
    taste AND money. the day was one of my first shows: 4 women stopped
    at my booth, three began looking at my work while the fourth stood
    off to side and kept up a running commentary "that's too big. too
    different. too silvery. too pearly. too sparkly. too expensive. too
    plain. too fancy" every time one of her 'friends' picked up a piece.
    one of the women found an amber necklace & turned to the nattering
    woman, "you were looking for some amber. here's a nice strand at a
    good price." the woman snorted & scoffed "oh, i couldn't wear all
    that around my neck." i smiled sweetly & informed her, "that's
    because you have no neck." 

    the three women winked at me & almost choked trying to keep from
    laughing. yes, they bought. that was my only broadside & it was
    early on enough so that when i am tempted to say something now i
    just recall that satisfying transgression & smile. 

people, you got a life, get on with it!
